If you live around Boston You Do It Electronics in Needham has pretty much everything ever for about the same prices as online maybe slightly more. They deal with a lot of Radio stuff so you can buy tube sockets, etc. there too. They also have in stock a lot of tubes and a bunch of NOS stuff in the same cabinet not listed online...Old Ratheon tubes, Mullard, etc.

Obviously they turn a profit and have to buy in huge quantities. I'm just curious. I mean direct from Hammond for Hammond boxes I would assume, but other things?

Mouser gets their products straight from the manufacturer and has tons of warehouses around the globe. Xircom, Panasonic, TDK etc all direct.

mammoth electronics IS 4siteelectronics. when mammoth first started they only sold 4site boxes at higher retail prices with no middleman. I have purchased painted enclosures in bulk from 4site. the minimum order is 10 pack. the paint is exactly the same. even the websites looked the same at the time.

pedal parts plus is run by asians in california, I would not be surprised if they have a cousin in china doing the purchasing for them. shipping from china to california is also much cheaper than china to new york.

when tayda first started they would ship my parts from thailand. most of the stock was from taiwan. now it comes from the midwest USA.

hammond boxes come from hammond. chinese boxes come from china. panasonic capacitors come from panasonic. however with tayda I think they are bidding on surplus lots of resistors with %20 tolerance or other defects and sorting them by hand to %5.

I am looking for some aluminum knobs. 4site used to carry these really good dual lock ones, and I cannot find them anywhere. Fucking 4site. UGH. The best thing is that they weren't 2.50 a piece. Any leads on decent knobs that don't cost a boat load? I'm down with bulk discounts too.

I cant find it anywhere except at Banzai Music, and I have quite a lot of troubles with them (it has been 2 weeks I passed the order and nothing is happening there...), so I am looking for other suppliers.
